Can"t I get some rest, who the h.e.l.l knocking my door? I quickly open it up and it was Princess Elna that knock my door room. "Princess Elna, do you need something...?"
"No, I am here as my father told me that dinner is ready and want me to invite you to dinner."
"What it is dinner already!" I am not aware that it was already the time for dinner as I quickly call Lily out and head to the castle dining room. The castle dining room is a little smaller from the Golkiem Castle dining room but it was still a nice room.
The king was already sat down in his chair and pleased to see me arrive in the dining room. "Arias please take your seat, today we will have a feast and I already told the castle cook to prepare the best food for it."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I can"t wait to eat the food." as I and Lily sit down on our chair. The castle maids then bring out the food and place it on the dining table. The food surely looks delicious as I want to eat it now but I must control myself.
I also notice there a few people in the dining table that I don"t know. Even though I always go to this castle before in the game. I then politely ask the king about all the person that in the dining room.
"I guess I forgot to introduce them to you, this is my royal council and they gather here to get know the diplomat."
King Tomas III then introduce the royal council to me. The person who sits facing me is the king trusty advisor, Sir Perrin. The one beside him is the Grandmaster of Lineage, Sir Azer. When I heard that he was the grandmaster, I quickly check his level as I intrigue about it.
"SYSTEM CHECK"
"NPC PROFILE"
Name: Sir Azer
t.i.tle: Grandmaster of Lineage
Race: Human
Level: 87
I thought that his level would be 100 above but it was under it. I began to know why they are afraid of Golkiem Kingdom as the people there are powerful than them.
"That is all of my council that is present here."
d.a.m.n, I didn"t hear the rest of it as my mind was thinking other things. I guess I just check them with my game system later as for now I want to enjoy the food here.
"Let"s begin our feast!" King Tomas III lift his cup signaling us to begin the feast.
The food was so good as I eat quite a lot of it. I guess this is my favorite food of all time, the Wyvern Soufflé. The souffle is different from what I had tasted in my world, it tastes either sweet or savory however there is one taste that should never be in either and that is "eggy" but somehow the chef manages to use it and make it taste good.
As for the texture, it"s like eating a cloud that melts and dissolves in your mouth (outer parts texture) with a moist almost undercooked center.
The maid then pours some wine in my gla.s.s, I see the wine brand is Frarrience. I never saw that brand before and I wonder how would it taste like.
When I took a sip from it, it was so sweet as I could to tell that this is sweet red wine. The sour and bitter flavors are still there, but it was overpowered by the sweetness.
After drinking it more, I feel a bit sleepy. I know I could pa.s.s out at any moment.
"Lily? it is getting pretty late, do you want to sleep?"
"Mmmm...yes I feel very sleepy," I then told one of the maids to please sent Lily back to her room as I saw her yawning just now.
The maid then accompanies Lily to her room as I stay in the dining room as it would be rude if I leave before the feast is ended. I continue to eat and drink until I feel sleepy and drunk.
After a few more hours, The king concludes the feast as we all began to leave. I fell as I trying to get up from my chair, I was pretty drunk. I can hear the king told her daughter, Princess Elna, to bring me back to the room.
"Sir Arias? Could you hear me... Please hold my hand." I hold Princess Elna"s hand as I tried to stand up.
Princess Elna then holds my hand as she trying to bring me back to my room. We began to walk in the empty hallway. I was so drunk that I hold Princess Elna"s hand tightly as I was afraid that I will fell in the ground if I let it go.
I start to daze off as I begin to mumble about something, even I don"t know what I was talking about. I just talk about this world is so unfair to me as I suddenly blurted out that I love the princess and was so devastated when I know that she was already married.
"If only I come here earlier... I would make you..." I hold her more tightly.
The princess stopped walking as she turned behind and look into me and start to say something. "If..."
....
The next thing I notice is I was already in my bed and also it was already morning time. I don"t know how I get here as I try to recall what had happened after the feast but I couldn"t remember it.
I was too lazy to think about what had happened and make a conclusion that happens at all and a.s.sume that I walk back to my room on my own even though I was drunk.
"Knock! Knock!"
Somebody is knocking the door as I about to get off my bed and went to the door to open it. I noticed that there is something wrong.
